An affidavit is a written statement made under oath or affirmation before an authorized person such as a notary public or court officer. The affiant (person making the statement) swears that the facts contained within are true to the best of their knowledge. Affidavits are used extensively in legal proceedings as a form of sworn evidence, carrying the legal weight of testimony, though they cannot be cross-examined. In the context of UAP/UFO disclosure, affidavits have been employed by military officers and intelligence community whistleblowers during congressional testimony and formal disclosures to document allegations regarding anomalous phenomena and government programs.
Enriquecimento (PT-BR)
Uma declaração juramentada é um documento escrito feito sob juramento ou afirmação perante uma pessoa autorizada, como um notário público ou oficial do tribunal. O declarante (pessoa que faz a declaração) jura que os fatos contidos no documento são verdadeiros conforme seu melhor conhecimento. Declarações juramentadas são usadas extensivamente em procedimentos legais como forma de prova juramentada, com peso legal equivalente ao de um testemunho, embora não possam ser contra-argumentadas. No contexto da divulgação de UAP/OVNI, declarações juramentadas têm sido utilizadas por oficiais militares e denunciantes da comunidade de inteligência durante testemunhos congressionais e divulgações formais para documentar alegações sobre fenômenos anômalos e programas governamentais.
